Access The Magic: The Use of Shamanic Tools and Sacred Objects  with Don Khalsa

 

Thursday May 7th from 6:30 to 10pm

 

This workshop will explore the use of sacred objects and tools used in Shamanic Practice. Learn about the building and care of altars and tools as well as the creation and maintenance of a sacred place.  We will also explore the use of sacred objects for clearing and cleansing. As we work with sacred tools, we empower and allow the tool the appropriate energy to do its work. Once we learn how to create and hold sacred space, we can step aside and allow the spirits to work.

Sacred objects may include musical instruments, amulets, talismans, candles, incense, feathers, stones, floral waters and various other elements. You are most welcome to bring objects for your altar.

Registration: $50.

talisman 19, with forest green embroidery floss, copper filament, pebbles collected in unknown location, found polished rose quartz and tigers eye crystals, collected unidentified small feather, found cast gold plated "feather" appetizer fork, marked TAN and inherited caramel swirled Bakelite handled dinner knife c 1940.

 

We are very please to announce that talismans for the home by Leslie Peters will be extended until Friday May 29th.  This is a stunningly beautiful installation that superbly co-joins contemporary art and spiritual practice.  The works are for sale, and range from $60 - $500, this exhibition is truly not to be missed.

 

talismans for the home is a series of small sculptural objects, created from items found and collected within nature and the domestic environment. Each talisman is formed from sacred objects: domestic items imbued with meaning. For example,  the artist’s great aunt’s spoon collection, her paternal grandmother’s silverware, relics collected from her maternal grandmother’s abandoned home, objects discarded or lost, found on beaches, in the streets, at the local goodwill and garage sales, gifted items, bits of glass and stones. These contemporary artifacts are combined with other cherished items found within nature; sticks, feathers, bones, seeds, shells and are ultimately bound together using twine, wire, leather and thread. Essentially these small sculptures are woven curios that contain the combined recollections and emotions of the individual artifact and the “charge” and intention generated by the artist through the creation process.
